Hi

Your question is pretty similar to this one.

Weichong and Rama collect stamps. If Rama gives Weichong 15 stamps, he will have the same number of stamps as Weichong. If Weichong gives 15 stamps, he will have 1/2 as many stamps as Rama. How many stamps does each boy have?

Using similar approach as shown by Chamonix, you should be able to solve your question.

This is a question on “double if”. The ‘if” in the statement signifies that the scenario doesn’t actually happen.

If Vera gives Bala 2 stickers, he will have the same number of stickers as Vera.This means Vera has 4 more stickers than Bala.

If Bala gives Vera 2 stickers, Vera will have 5 times as many stickers as Bala.
Vera would have 8 more stickers than Bala.

4 units ----- 8 stickers
1 unit ----- 2 stickers.

Vera ----- 8 stickers
Bala ----- 4 stickers.

Best wishes

Pink ribbon is 48m
Yellow ribbon is 60m

The common divider for the 2 ribbons are 2,4,6,12
Hence the max common length is 48x60 = 2880
Minimum common length = 2880/12 = 240

Hence no of pink rolls = 240/48 = 5
and no of yellow rolls = 240/60 = 4
